This is the first ever mood board that I have designed. The client required a foyer that is both functional and looks good. A chair to sit and wear shoes and a place to hang coats. A mirror is great to see yourself on the way out. The Orange lamb which adds a pop of color to a neutral pallet. The console table has drawers that provides storage.

Hope she likes it! If you need help with any room, please feel free to contact me. I would love to create a mood board for you for a nominal fee.

Here are some more clever ideas. Be sure to check my previous post (Clever storage solutions -part 1) for more great ideas.

A Coat rack made with plumbing pipes. What a great fun idea !

A pen holder made of circuit boards. Unique! This one is from an etsy store called DebbyAremDesigns.

Use a bicycle wheel to make a pot rack. Just suspend it from the ceiling and add some hooks.

I have seen a lot of different kinds of jewelery holders but this one is really unique. Use pipe and flanges to store your precious baubles.
